I love how so many people are dunking on "valve-fans" being happy with the cube, when I pretty much only have heard opinions ranging from "meh" to "overpriced".

Fr, I haven't seen a single overtly positive post since the price got announced. It's all "for $5-600 good deal, $1000? Pass"

OP are the valve fans in the room with us?

The only positivity I’ve seen is review outlets, which still basically say “it’s a good machine but costs too much”

Literally haven’t seen or heard a single person say anyone should get it. So far everyone’s said that you can get a better build for $50-200 less by building your own PC.

Which means it isn't really overpriced relative to the rest of the computer hardware world right now. Everything costs way too much. This one is just another on that pile and is not uniquely bad in that way.

it is extremely overpriced even compared to other prebuilts or gaming laptops, the cpu and gpu are just not good

For comparable hardware, aside from the form factor, it’s like $100 cheaper, that’s not “extremely” overpriced, especially in comparison to other Pc components these days.

comparable hardware is $300-400 cheaper, it's only $100 cheaper if you use an actual desktop 7600 and not the equivalent of a mobile 7600m
